11s defines a pre-shared secret based security, but has not been
implemented in o11s.

Dan Harkins provided an open reference implementation of the authentication
algorithm that's in the current 11s draft.  It is available here:
http://authsae.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/authsae/authsae
But AFAIK no one has integrated it with o11s.

Cheers,

Javier
